Calaway Park

Mick got me a VIP pass to the local amusement park from his work.  Basically all season I can take a group of about 10 people into the park.  We finally had a nice day that I wasn't working and decided to rally the troops and head out there.

 

Bree came with the twins.  Greyson loved all the "car cars" and was very into driving.  Harrison, not so much, but after a while he started to like it.

 

Jett bawled until I held his hand.  He was mostly upset I got out of the egg to grab Abbey.  He got over it, don't you worry.

 

Jett and Greyson rode the boats all by themselves.  Being only the second ride of the day, Jett was a little nervous, but he would see all his friends and cousins and start to wave.  Then see me and bawl.  Again, he got used to it.   Greyson was very into the driving. That wheel never stopped turning.

It was about 30 degrees so it was a little sweaty of a day.  Notice all the shades and squinty eyes?

Boucy cars were a blast!

 BIG KIDS ONLY!

Maybe we can go again on a warm but not BOILING day.

4th Of July 2010

Memories of this year's 4th of July:

Hanging out with the Dobsons.  Having a campfire and learning skateboarding tricks on the tramp.  

Jett loves his Aunt Holly

Cousin Coleson taught me some cool tricks and was kind enough not to laugh at me.

 

Wilson

Tyson

Hanging out at Grandma's House, meeting the new Niece Juliette.

These cousins are only 6 weeks apart.  Ian is so slender in comparison to Jett.  They looked so cute when they were together.  Its amazing to see how their personalities are so different even at about a year and a half old.

Auntie Katie stopping Jett from starting the internet on her cell phone.  His favorite toy of all time.

The only picture you will see of us because I am embarrassed of all of them.  This is a time in my life I don't want to remember the way that I look.  Depressing yes, but I have to give in every now and then...

The night of the Fireworks

KISSING COUSINS!

The proud new parents.

My favorite girls.

We had so much fun.  I love it when the whole family gets together (minus a sibling and their family).   As much stress there is trying to arrange activities and find restaurants we all like, its the moments we all just play games and roast hot dogs around the fire that I always remember. It was weird to be in Idaho and not have Brycen there.  We spend the 3rd celebrating at the park pavilion we usually celebrated his birthday parties at.  Being in Idaho just brings up the awareness that he isn't here.  

We miss the Berry Fam.  Please come up and see us!

Packing

Packing for Idaho. Jett seemed pretty excited about the situation.

Jett - Again

Heritage Park

A friend of mine has season passes to Heritage Park, a historic place in calgary with rides, and old houses that you can walk through.  I went in Junior High, but never really thought much of it.  When Ashley offered to take us, I jumped thinking Jett would LOVE it.

Little man was more than a little nervous to be on the carousel by himself.  I started sitting behind him and he wouldn't let me move.

When it was over he was excited for 'MA' (more)

The other kids liked the rides, and the 1" in height that Sam has over Jett means he gets to ride the rides!  Maybe next year there will be more options ride-wise.

The train ride did Jett in.  I can count on one hand how many times he has slept in his stroller.  It was kind of nice!

Jett is at a really tricky age right now in terms of taking him out.  He loves to run as far away as he can but he doesn't really understand to listen and come back when I call.  He also hates shopping carts, so groceries gets tricky as well.

All in all, it was an adventurous day.  I can't wait to go back.  Its days when we have fun activities that I feel good as a mom.  

Lake Day

This is where I try to attempt all Berry Family to come and visit.  This is the lake in our community and we get to play here whenever we want.  Within walking distance, I plan to spend every free day here this summer.  For any friends who want to join me, give me a call!

The Money Shot

Jett picked up on Backyardigans from his cousins.  He really likes the songs and loves to dance to the songs.  I have been trying to catch it on film for a while now.  FINALLY. I got the money shot.  Enjoy.
